The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1887-09-16

Nothing 80 disturbs the equanimity OF
the Oyegosiar as to touch Il up little on
It's "blcody shirt rawlings in times past
"Faithful are the wounds of friend, satin
Inspiration but the OysgoHiam will not sub
nit TO these little reminders Of It's perverse
course, given BY us merely as hint that
Il were better that that paper should keep
in hailing distance otthe line OF consist
ency. We mildly hint at its ineonsisten.
cles about the tariff, and Il writhes and
foams as II suffering the mostintense pain.
Then with an emollient prod we point to
the periodical "bloody shirt" fits which Il
has, with the hope that II may realize the
halluclnatlon under which It's editor hnds
himself when speaking of Democrats "re-
versint the results OF the war;" and then
rather than accept the wholesome advice
Il resorts to hat denial declaring that "the
Oyeesnias did not say that Democrats
would reverse the results Of the war" As
substantlating what we said about that pa
per's deplorlng the election Of Cleveland
on the ground that the Democratic party
would reverse the results Of the war II al
flowed TO assume power again In the ma
tional government, we clip the following
from the OyegOniaa,printed during the late
presidential campaign "Should Il (the
attempt to elect Democratic President)
succeed, the old ante bellum status would
be substantially restored" Well, now
/. every man, (except one laboring unde'
! some strange hallucination) will ut once
sec that the "ante bellum status" could no
be "ressored" without reversing the results
OF the war. The OysgosiaH says we mis-
represented II, but outof its own mouth !
stands convicted of the very act of which
, we accused Il. Even after the election
I and the result known,and when Il was too
late to secure votes BY frightening an,
one, the Oyrgosiaa said
. aAll over the South they expect to sc,
the war amendments annulled through tn
/ REORGANIZATION of the Supreme Court, an
s full Compensation made for slave liberal
d ed and property destroyed"
!. These little prodding extracts from tina
:. paper 60 to show Che character of the war
: fare which Il made upon the Democrat
Il party. Its columns are full OF such evl
/. dence. But the iavorise line OF attack
elI the Oycgonian has been to traduee tn
le Democratic party BY saying that Il coul
te never be trusted by the people, beeause'a a
"a Il saws. eis has behind Il history full
,e iniquity and Infamy," because "it Is erin
n. llnal beyond any other party In history
H. and because il observed the brand OF Il
&. fanny" and many other choice epithe
L. which II applied to the party. Notwit
Of standing this "infamous" character OF Il
n. Democratic party, this party that was
az distrusted by the people, yet when 'h'
er went to the polls to vote they regard
de the Republican party with so much gre'
OF er distrust and disgust as to put Il out
rte power and put the Democratic party
&c. Does the Oregossas comprehend how b
he a party Il made OF It's own in seeki
at TO defame the Democratic party, whiS
IN. though bad enough. was good enough
a be selected by the people instead OF
-se Republican to manage the affairs OF &c
es- ernment? Notwithstanding the shorteo
ings OF the Democratic party,(an all p
ties have them.) the most infamous cri
inal act ever committed by any party
= that Of stealing the presidency from

- by a majority of quarter of = million
